But when stress hits, like infection or injury, they spring into action, churning out immune cells to defend you.

In the shadowy underworld of soil, tiny plastic particles are lurking like molecular saboteurs. Researchers have long suspected they're sneaking into our crops, but the trail often goes cold fast.

This one was prepared with the help of German off-road specialist Terranger and retail partner Ford Nugget Store before powering into one of the world's largest overland and 4x4 shows at the start of summer. You won't find this axe-wielding mini adventure rig at the Ford dealership next to traditional Westfalia-made Nuggets, but it is available to buy as a turnkey 4x4 camper van complete with the same three-room interior Nugget owners and admirers adore.
